My Creative World

Thanks to my son I learned that a bag of holding is a fictional magical item role-playing games, capable of containing objects larger than its own size. I’ve often felt that a woman’s purse is like that — you never know what she’s going to pull out of it next.

This card is designed for a purse-loving friend. I used it for a birthday card, but it’s suitable for any number of occasions.

INSTRUCTIONS

DCWV Cafe Mediterranean papers
K&Company Amy Butler Sola Purses embellishments
Recollections edge punch
Ivory card from Recollections Value Pack Blank Card & Envelope set

Inside of card:

Edge-punch the dark teal paper with a lacy pattern, then trim a strip to fit the inner side of the card, as shown. Trim a coordinating strip slightly smaller, and adhere it to the teal paper so a bit of teal shows on each side. Stamp a sentiment of your choice on the inside flap.

Outside of card:

Cut off a strip of the right front flat so it exposes the inner design, but hides the lacy edge (so it can be a nice surprise when the card is opened). Trim and adhere a piece of light teal paper to cover the front flap. Trim and adhere a strip of coordinating patterned paper to the front flap so that a light teal border remains showing from behind. Adhere three purses and a flower from the embellishment set, as shown in the photo.
